This book, first published in 1932, demonstrates how the control of
certain ‘-isms’ has for long moulded the interpretation of
Indian belief and ritual by Western writers particularly. In every
chapter there is some new coordination, often iconoclastic of
then-accepted theory, whilst the new wealth of customs carefully
recorded is astonishing. Long disputed problems such as that of the
Maratha ‘devak’, or that of the ceremonial sowing of seedlings
known to Western scholars as the ‘gardens of Adonis’, have at
last been settled through careful research.
